After the devastating fire in #Matanzas, #Cuba, I donated to the Cuban government's emergency fund. My online payment was confirmed (took a screenshot) but a few days later I was told by @HSBC_UK that the payment was blocked because "the whole world sanctions Cuba." Wrong! (1/3) 
In fact, @HSBC_UK it is illegal to apply unilateral US sanctions of #Cuba to British citizens/entities. The same applies in Europe and Canada. Here's the article I wrote for @jacobin that explains how and why the US blockade of Cuba is an act of war. jacobin.com/2022/03/us-blo… (2/3)
Once you have read about how the #USblockade of #Cuba obstructs Cuba's access to world trade, markets, investment and even humanitarian aid, please check out the '1 cent for Cuba' campaign which seeks to make the US blockade of Cuba unenforceable. 1c4cuba.eu (3/3).
